One Giant Leap....

Once again i have been away for far too long. The new arrival continues to grow and is now an IT after a small operation.;ouch! He and the resident cat Miss Willow are starting to reach a sort of understanding and have actually shared a bed.. such behaviour is unbecoming wouldn't you think? however at least it means she isn't constantly hissing and spitting at him. They even swop food bowls as well! On the house front the two bedrooms now have doors on them. That is REAL wooden doors made by me, they aren't perfect but then they are a great improvement on the nothingness that was there before. It means at least people coming to stay now have a door to protect their modesty rather than just a curtain! Bedroom two is ready for painting and kitting out with lights and things but i am still waiting for the new radiator to arrive. It was ordered on the 8th November and should have taken "quinze jour" as does everything you order here but after vingt-trois jour it still has not made an appearance. This is worrying as i have people arriving to stay on the 11th and they will need a radiator as it is getting a bit cool at night. Cool is relative you understand 6° is cool!!! Sat outside two days ago in t-shirt eating lunch..wey hey off to get a glass of wine and seperate two hissing cats!!!
